Usage

Benicar HCT (Olmesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide) is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) (source). Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. Olmesartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARB). Benicar HC is a two-in-one combination product that relaxes the blood vessels and increases the flow of urine, which works together to help lower blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

The common side effects of Benicar HCT include cold symptoms (such as sneezing, stuffing nose, and sore throat), dizziness, nausea, and high levels of uric acid in your blood (source). Benicar HCT may cause serious side effects, including:
